Why Lani loves Vegas
Singer Lani Misalucha and her family live in Las Vegas and she has come to love the place for its laid-back ambience.
“’ Di ba ang Las Vegas parang ’pag tiningnan mo napaka- busy… Alam mo ang family life doon, ang private life doon ay talagang gusto ko. Parang laid back compared to California,” she said on “Aquino & Abunda Tonight.”
Lani has imbibed the Las Vegas vibe after performing there for a long time. She channels the feel of the vibrant entertainment city in her upcoming concert, “La Nightingale.”
According to Lani, the show will feature Cirque du Soleil-type numbers aside from her repertoire of new songs, a few ballads and pop tunes.
Host Boy Abunda asked if Lani had backed out of a concert that was originally scheduled on Oct. 17.
“Walang katotohanan ’yun. Actually, ngayon ko lang narinig ’yon,” a surprised Lani said.
“Actually, ang pinaka- main reason doon is sa production, on the production
side,” she explained.
Having performed for US audiences for a long time, the singer noted how different they are from Pinoy viewers. “Ang mga Amerikano mas madali silang ma- please. In other words, mabababaw lang sila,” she said.
“Isa pa, nasa ano na natin ‘yung medyo may hiya, medyo me pagkareserved. Tayo hindi talaga ganoon kademonstrative, ka- expressive. Medyo me kimi pa tayo.”
Lani revealed that she still feels nervous every time she performs, which she quells with the thought that “(I) just really have to face it.”
She added, “Mga first few songs medyo nenerbyosin ( ako) pero towards the middle, okay na… Ganoon din, when it comes sa boses, dahil medyo may nerbyos sa unahan, hindi pa lumalabas nang todo-todo.”
Lani’s “La Nightingale” concert happens on Dec. 6 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. She will be joined by Arnel Pineda, Jed Madela, G-Force and other surprise guests.
